I have a sceptre x9g-naga III

I think they are MOVs in the primary AC side. Can you post the pictures, or send them to me at [email protected]. Most MOV are blue in color, ceramic cap is usually orange/yelllowish color.

if you have the warranty, return it and get a new one free. ok

Have you tried any other monitor connected to your computer since your current problem? Check your connections, make sure your VGA cable/DVI cable are in good condition. If none of that works try to RMA it to sceptre if your still within the 1 year period.

you use a graphics card as your main output?
and you have onboard graphics output too that you dont use?
if so then you will have to plug your monitor lead into the onboard output socket to see bios. i think you need to go into bios and change which device starts from boot.
it sounds like you have the onboard graphics as your boot device and windows using the graphics card.

I have same problem... just went off warranty and they won't cover it.. they want $100 for repair plus $35 shipping plus I have to pay to ship it to them... For $179 I can buy a new 19" with 3 year warranty...I wouldn't buy another Sceptre at half the price

1000uf 16 VOLT

most common lcd monitor break down, check all electrolytic capacitors for leakage and loose board solder specially on the ccfl inverter section.

bad display board replace if you can find one on ebay

It is clipped on, or there is a hidden screw underneith a sticker or something.

They make these things hard to disassemble for a reason. There is very little you can do one you've got it open. There's almost nothing inside that can be serviced by any normal user.

The attached pictures are the back of our TV which is a Sceptre X30SV NAGA III. In ours the power supply is inside the vertical panel on the back right of the TV. The plug goes in the bottom of the panel and you remove the panel with the horizontal louvers with 4 screws to get at the power supply. A replacement power supply is from Delta Electronics part number ADP 180CB B , 24 Volts 7.5 amps 180 Watts that we reordered from here:
